“Ignorance is Bliss”

Overreact much? :1rotfl:

The most important part of the equation, however, is that the Second Amendment enshrined in our Constitution attests to "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". You don't have to prove yourself or hit a target at so many yards to exercise a Constitutional right - although proficiency with your chosen weapon makes a LOT of sense. One does not have to prove proficiency with the English language, for example, to exercise free speech, etc.

I'm not worried about the Bad Guy who ignored the law anyway. The people I'm worried about are the ones who own guns but were denied carry permits, the ones who own guns but didn't apply for the permit because they believed they would be denied, and the ones who didn't own guns but will now because the new law paired with old rhetoric makes it fashionable to carry. Some number of those people may be carrying now.

The Bad Guy with the gun has been there all my life. The Good Guy who is now carrying but doesn't have a clue how to react in a bad situation is what will worry me going forward.

Gun permits
 

Most of those old drunks are veterans and have permits and already carry guns.

Permitless
 

News flash you've always been allowed to have it in your nightstand and or your car providing you don't have a criminal record. Now you can put it in a holster in your waistband.

Tragedy
 

?

What does a shot fired thru a closed door have to do with a concealed carry discussion?

Permits
 

And never were for criminals

Read the law ! You still will need your CCW for travel in other states.... and Florida will still issue CCW's for this purpose.

Amen to that.

One can abide by the 2nd amendment but still should have to take a course, and hopefully have no criminal or mental health issues. We are supposed to have a license to drive a car but don’t need one for a gun? Does a license stop all bad drivers? Of course not. But it has to help.

Additionally, look at all the anger, fear & hate in society now. People being shot because they turn in a driveway or came to a door. It isn’t the bad guy I will encounter on a daily basis, it is the uneducated fearful good citizen.

Then there is the gun with no safety lock that gets found in grandma’s nightstand when the grandkids visit…

Hopefully this law will make criminals think twice before commiting a crime .

Not scary at all, it is a guaranteed Constitutional Amendment. In fact, such an important one they made it the 2nd one. Do you think we should have permits applied for, judged, then issued for you to say what you want or go to the church you wish? Then why should you do so for having the ability to protect yourself from harm?

Actually, the nasty old white lady had just thrown something, and it hit, the black kid, and that's why the mother was at the door with her child. Crazy white woman shot and killed the mother, through the locked door. When police talked to her she immediately claimed she was standing her ground. People in Florida seem to think it's safe to murder others and claim stand your ground. I suspect that started when Zimmerman got away with murdering Trayvon Martin.

I too have zero sympathy for the old woman, I hope she gets a life sentence.

Lol that is funny!!! Yes Least safe feeling in chicago or NY!! I will not walk one single block now when I visit back up north.

I'm missing something. The 2nd amendment has been quoted as allowing anyone to carry a concealed weapon. Did the requirement to get a permit prohibit anyone to carry a weapon? The new law eliminates the paperwork. In what cases were permits denied?
Mentally impaired? People with prior violent criminal records? Wasn't that a good thing? Is the gun you are allowed to carry now one you own or can you legally carry a friend's/relative's weapon? I would think that permitting was a reasonable way to prohibit non criminals who were dangerous to either themselves or others to not be allowed to carry a weapon. Where is my logic wrong?
